Very helpful reference for sorting out all those confusing, competing priorities and labels: organic, humane, grass-fed, free-range, fair trade, hormone-free, local, etc. to make decisions that might actually matter when grocery shopping and cooking. What do locavores eat in the middle of winter in northern states? Is it really worth buying organic veggies shipped across the country or around the world? What do all those claims mean on food packaging? It never occurred to me that maybe bananas don't need to be part of my diet. (I'm nixing them.) Some of the additional resources she provides, such as websites that list safe seafood, are especially useful. The author can be a little pushy or sanctimonious in her tone at times, but I was able to read past that. Some of the advice is really rudimentary, too - a lecture about bottled water? Really? But overall, useful and motivational.
